Who we work with
Public clients

Governmental at every level.

Public clients encompass governmental branches at the city, state, and federal level — including independent districts like Denver Public Schools and Jefferson County. The expectations are different from private work: bid-ready documentation, compliance with prevailing wage and federal procurement rules, and the ability to deliver inside live, secure environments without disrupting operations.

We carry the credentials that public procurement teams ask for first, and we run our jobsites the way OSHA and a Class A license expect them to run — every day, not just the day of an audit. The result is a contractor that public clients can pre-qualify quickly and trust to deliver from notice to proceed through closeout.

“I have yet to come across an individual so exceptionally well rounded as Ms. Yvette Roman. Yvette is skilled at navigating through disruption, complexity, challenges and change — she consistently proves her ability to intelligently multi-task to ensure the best possible outcome has been realized for the customer and for the team. She is seen by my team as being a true leader for her organization; a thoughtful leader who is flexible, intelligent, and who always operates off facts.

Additionally, construction personalities are intrinsically “tough”, and I have yet to meet an individual who is so natural at productively interfacing with these tough personalities. She seems comfortable in any arena she is put in, and takes on titanic challenges with grace. I recommend Yvette based off of her merits, but also as a good person who always operates with integrity and trustworthiness.”
